Technical Recruiter (Contract)

At Tilt (formerly Empower), we see a side of people that traditional lenders miss. Our mobile-first products and machine learning-powered credit models look beyond outdated credit scores, using over 250 real-time financial signals to recognize real potential. Named among the next billion-dollar startups, we're not just changing how people access financial products — we're creating a new credit system that backs the working, whatever they're working toward.

We’re looking for an experienced Technical Recruiter to join our US-based team on a 6-month contract. In this high-impact role, you’ll work closely with senior leadership to shape and execute hiring strategies across Tilt’s technical teams (engineering, product, design, and data science).

• Partner with senior leaders to deeply understand hiring needs and build strategies that deliver the right talent at the right time.

• Own end-to-end recruitment across a diverse mix of roles, from engineering to product.

• Build and manage strong candidate pipelines, using creative sourcing and engagement strategies to attract top talent.

• Translate complex, fast-changing hiring priorities into clear processes that scale, ensuring recruiting is both organized and nimble.

• Run multiple searches at once with focus and agility, while keeping candidates and stakeholders aligned.

• Deliver an exceptional candidate experience from first touch to offer.

• Collaborate with the People team to continuously improve recruiting tools, systems, and workflows.

• 4+ years of recruiting experience spanning technical roles (engineering, product, design, data science).

• Exceptional sourcing and networking skills; resourceful, inventive, and resilient in finding the best talent.

• Process-minded: skilled at turning complexity into clarity and building repeatable, effective recruiting practices.

• Comfortable with ambiguity and change, thriving in fast-paced, high-growth environments.

• Self-starter with strong business acumen, influence, and relationship-building skills.

• Experience leveraging AI tools for sourcing, screening, or scheduling.

• Familiarity with Ashby ATS is a big plus.

• Background in fintech or startups preferred.
